WASHINGTON, Aug. A private dispatch
received here this MORNING from Kentucky
states that, while the election is still in DOUBT,
there is not the least doubt that it is the worst
set back the Democrats ever received in the
State 1t is said that the surprising results are
due to the fact that Buckner, the Democratic
candidate. was about the poorest Democrat for
the position that could have been selected by the
other hand, nominated man who was Buck
ner's superior IN every respect, and as conse-
quence party lines were in part obliterated.

A piece of interesting information comes

Merv Turcomans was gained by help of
the famous Moscow merchant, Kouschine,
who sent his 80 called trading caravan

other officers in disguise. For the great
services then rendered, this pioneer OF
Russian conquests in Central Asia has
been rewarded with a patent of hereditary
nobility. His firm is well known for its
manufacture Of cheap and highly colored
cotton prints for the Asiatic market, and
the arms now granted to him and his de.
scendants display three bobbins, indicating
the means of his elevation to rank and
fortune.
